Why Isn't Cheney Involved? Oh Yeah, We've Already Got Enough Dicks

unclelumpy points out this... lessee, what's the right word? Asinine? Moronic? Wish-fulfilling? Jingoistic? Pathetic little fantasy featuring Sean "If I Only Had A Brain" Hannity, G. Gordon "A Heart" Liddy, and Oliver "Da Noive" North as leaders of "an underground group of bio-mechanically enhanced conservatives" trying to thwart Usama bin Laden in 2021.

Words do not fail me, by any means, but half of them are basically just hearty, derisive laughter, and most of the rest frankly have to do with the delusions, sociopathy, and penis sizes of these flakes. Except for my lament that Larry Elmore, an artist I like and respect, did the cover. Sigh.

I strongly reccomend reading "Coercion" (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/157322829X/qid=1122581787/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_sbs_1/002-0783202-1061627?v=glance&s=books&n=507846) by Douglas Rushkoff. In it he notes we have become a marketing-obsessed culture, and that market-think has infiltrated the way we react.

A lot of the Neocons and the Theocons are like this. They got handed a sales pitch. They learn to follow the sales pitch. They repeat it. They're replicants, marketdroids. They're the Amway of politics and religion.

Admittedly like all pyramid schemes it can't last, but the results are ugly in the meantime.
